The MailChimp integration is a whole new Joomla! newsletter component and more. It thoroughly exhausts the MailChimp API and will bring you unprecedented control and content inclusion options with your newsletters, along with satisfaction. Get a free MailChimp account and send up to 12,000 newsletters to 2,000 subscribers each month: http://bit.ly/JMailchimp

Managing your lists, subscribers and newsletters has never been this easy and yet the depth of features will blow you away. Through the combination with MailChimp you can have a full-featured newsletter component for free when you get started. And as you grow your business and your newsletter subscriber lists, you will really start to take advantage of MailChimp's infrastructure and resources. If you have any trouble with the newsletter extension then drop us a line in our forum.

This is a fantastic tool that not only links Joomla registration to Mailchimp, but also makes writing newsletters super easy. Joomla artcles can be included in the newsletter, and you can see a report that shows statistics on the newsletter from the admin section of Joomla - never need to login to Mailchimp at all!

The bad news is that it will not work with Joomla 3 and development appears to be stone cold dead. I have delayed moving my site to Joomla 3 for over a year while hoping that someone would update this app. So far, no response - and I can't wait any longer.

Hi jivy59,

Sorry it took us so long but rewriting 55.000 lines of code takes some time... We have just released the Joomla! 3 compatible version. Please give it a shot and let us know in our forums if you have any problems or suggestions about it. Thanks!

This extension has all the potential to be amazing, but support is non-existent and after many hours I am unable to get this component to work (with and without Community Builder). I'm rather experienced at Joomla! and without support from the developers it is a slick looking piece of junk.

I wanted to send content out to people interested in my organisation who would not necessarily browse the website. This extension provided exactly what I was looking for. Simple to set up, easy to produce professional looking newsletters.

I downloaded and installed everything easily and set up a MailChimp account. I had a minor problem with getting my users imported, but it was because I had no list defined on Mailchimp. I found the answer in Joomlamailer forums.

I was flabbergasted by how easy it was to import my information into the template and to create a campaign. I included several articles from different categories and added a graphic with a link to my book in the left margin. I changed the colors easily to match my website and imported the banner.

After using the test facility, I scheduled my first campaign overnight. It ran smoothly, and when I logged in to my Joomla administration screen there was a summary of the campaign displayed immediately. Statistics told me my campaign was 40% more effective than my industry average and I was able to see who had opened it and clicked.

Combine the power of Excel with Joomla! If you have a large set of articles to create or to update the Content Uploader will save you hours of work. You create the configuration once where you define the article layout and the Content Uploader will do the rest. Just select your Excel file and press Upload - done!

Formerly known as the Excel Uploader. The Content Uploader Pro allows you to upload Excel sheets to batch create:
Joomla! articles
K2 items
J2Store Products
Web Links
Contacts
Joomfish translations
Akeeba Admintools Redirections
This means that each row from your Excel sheet will create one new article/item on your site. Website creators who want to populate a site quickly by importing existing articles, will find this particularly useful as it eliminates a time consuming, manual process. Furthermore you can update existing articles by downloading the existing ones and reuploading them with supplying their ID to the Content Uploader. The same way you can upload your Joomfish translations for all articles like that from an Excel sheet.
Have a look at our site for the documentation and features comparison between the pro and the free version.
All Excel spreadsheet types are supported (xlsx, xls, csv, ooc, zip and more).

Broken images on a website make it look unprofessional and poorly maintained. They need to be fixed as soon as possible but how do you even know about them if you don't go through all your sites manually from time to time? Here is the solution. This plugin scans your website on each page load for broken images and sends out an email if it detects one. This allows you to fix your website as soon as possible and saves you the time to check all pages yourself.

J2Top creates a button that appears on the bottom-right (or -left) when you scroll down the page. Once clicked the page will scroll smoothly to the top of the page and the button will disappear. The look of the button is fully configurable from the backend,
you can change the text, font-color, font-size, background images and much more.
As of version 1.0.8 the button text can be translated in the plugin configuration or by using language files. Additionally we added an option to display the button also in the administrator interface.
You can also define how much pixels must be scrolled down before the button appears, the time that the button needs to fade in and out and if the button should be transparent by setting the opacity between 0.1 and 1.
